5.0/5I was referred to Arzoni Africa Safaris by a friend. My Canadian boyfriend informed me around June that he was planning to have spend a two weeks safari and beach relaxation in Kenya and Tanzania. Parks of his interest were Mara, Lake Nakuru, Samburu, Amboseli, Taita hills, Ol Pajeta and Lake Naivasha. Sam made our safari planning seamless and every request by my boyfriend and I were considered in the final itinerary. Overally, we had 10 days of safari and 4 nights in Zanzibar. The choice of accommodations was amazing and our expectations were met. Food was also excellent except in Elewana Tortilis (Amboseli) which were somewhat too spicy. George was a great guide with a sense of humour. We will definitely choose Arzoni safaris again and again. Beryle & Barry

Vallary Biwott · Saudi Arabia
I needed some accommodation for the trip so I emailed them a month before. They were flexible about my needs and the communication with Caren and the team went smooth and everything was clear. The planning process went well. I was expecting the unexpected on the day of my trip, but our guide John was super helpful and knowledgeable about experience so I felt comfortable and taken care of. We had interesting conversations during the trip. I absolutely recommend this tour company .

Our safari was out of another world. Thanks for Caren and the team for the organization and Communication was perfect. Kenya is a magical place and our tour guide John really went out of his way to bring us closer to nature. He was very knowledgeable about wildlife and knew exactly where to take us to see the big five. He was attentive, kind and respectful. We had a great time and we recommend Arzoni Africa Safaris 100%.
